The shorter a command, the longer the list of support parameters. This rule applies to lsof, one of Charly's favorite commands.
If you type lsof without parameters, the output is a long list of open files. This outpouring is sorted by PID; thus, it starts with init. On a laptop I was using as a lab machine, the list includes no fewer than 6,778 entries, which is not my understanding of intelligible.

Welcome traveller!
Over the past 20 years I've had the good fortune to work with some of the world's leading magazines, travelling, exploring, writing about my experiences, often photographing them as well. This has allowed me to visit many unusual locations and meet extraordinary people and, in my best moments, even see the magic and grace in the ordinary.
On these pages you'll find links to some of my major feature articles, and download those which are out of print. The magazines I work with often become collectors' items, part of the furniture in personal libraries, and making those stories available through this site is one way of keeping them being circulated and enjoyed.
So often I am asked how to go about the business of magazine writing and photography I have now decided to run regular though infrequent Travel Writing Seminars in Wanaka. You'll find details of these on the Seminars page.
I have made travel writing into both a philosophy and a practical way of life, a result of two formative ideas merging into one. The first is the notion that "life unexamined is not worth living," the other that "the life worth living is worth writing about."
There you have it, a definition and a reason all in one. Life is a journey, an adventure not a job, and so, following this logic, all writing is travel writing. Come, explore these pages and let me share my adventures with you.
Enjoy and Bon Voyage.

Grower borrows an irrigation idea from Greece
By ANITA BROWN
Russ Lester calls his innovative elevated irrigation an "upside-down sprinkler system." The Solano County organic farmer has threaded plastic hoses through the branches of 215 acres of walnut trees, and found enough benefits that he wants to put hose up in the air throughout his whole farm.
"We've been evaluating this for six or seven years now," Lester says. "We farm organically, and try to look at the whole picture, including energy. This idea just seems to be a solution for a number of problems."
His flood irrigation system was loading water up on one end of the field to the extent that trees on the other end were stunted, and buried irrigation pipe presented other problems, Lester says.
He originally was thinking about how grape growers used trellises to support irrigation hoses, and then he visited Greece. He noticed that farmers there, faced with extremely rocky, rugged terrain, strung water hoses through their olive trees. Lester figured if they could do it, so could he.
Key Points
• Elevated sprinklers cost less to install than buried pipe.
• Less energy use and lower upkeep are the benefit of hanging sprinklers.
• Elevated sprinklers make it easier to farm organically.
Problems solved
Lester uses both M\,-inch and C\v-inch hose, hanging sprinklers on it like the overhead type used in greenhouses. Among the buried hose problems prevented:
• Weeds by sprinklers. With organic farming, vegetation control around each micro-sprinkler was labor-intensive.
• Mineral buildup in emitters. Again, in organic farming the acids commonly used to clean emitters couldn't be used. Hanging sprinklers allow all water to drain into the air, leaving no water to freeze.
• Critter damage. Rodents chewed through underground pipes and hoses; jackrabbits chewed sprinklers aboveground.
• There's no need to locate underground problems, including water losses, whether from leaks, roots pinching pipes — or other water-loss problems.
• It's better for the trees, since there's no digging around tree roots of established trees.
Lester was concerned about pruning and shaking the trees with hoses in them, but that hasn't been a problem. He was also concerned the hoses would sag too much, but found they were fairly stable. He says the workers can cross-mow, another concern, as long as they keep their heads down.
Lester entered into an Environmental Quality Incentives Program contract with the Natural Resources Conservation Service to convert flood irrigation systems on 26 acres of walnuts in Solano County to his new system.
Still testing
Lester is working with the resource conservation district and NRCS to test the efficiency of some of his systems. While most sprinkler systems operate at 20 to 30 pounds per square inch, he believes he can operate at 15 to 20 PSI.
Brown is the public affairs director for the Natural Resources Conservation Service in California.
Organic walnuts result in high yield
Russ Lester was certified organic in 1991, but he took his first steps toward it in 1978, when he and his father began using integrated pest management. "I wanted to reduce my use of chemicals then," Lester says. "So we tried not spraying and allowing a natural cover crop to grow under the walnuts. It turns out that beneficial insects took care of the pests. We were finding only 2% to 3% worm damage, when others with sprayed fields were seeing 20% worm damage."
Ended chemical use
He had stopped using chemicals in the late 1980s for both insects and weeds at that time, and decided to quit using commercial fertilizer.
"I had beautiful walnuts, but my walnuts were being dumped in with everyone else's. I knew if I got certified I could get a premium," says Lester. He says organic farmers do need to get a premium because they are constantly carrying out research with their own money, have higher labor costs, and are more susceptible to weather.
"Our production is two times the state average," he says.
He's met a whole new group of caring, committed people who are like-minded. Organic farming can offer niche marketing and processing opportunities — and command premium prices — for specialty crops.
Lester set a goal to become energy self-sufficient by 2012. He has a solar system, and a co-generator that burns walnut shells to generate electricity to dry walnuts.
Organic farming is fun, he says, and it presents new challenges that require individual problem-solving.

In a new twist on fairytale fun, favorite Disney characters compete to be the next superstar in comical segments leading up to the tales of show stopping princesses – Ariel, Rapunzel, Belle, and Merida from Disney•Pixar's BRAVE in her ice debut!
"The most exciting part of bringing a fearless and independent character like Merida to the ice for the first time is knowing that she has a powerful and inspiring message to deliver about finding the courage to determine one's own fate," says Producer Nicole Feld. "We think her story translates well to the ice and will really resonate with today's audience."
Produced by Feld Entertainment, Rockin' Ever After remixes the stories of Disney's most adventurous heroines with upbeat music and energetic choreography that will have audiences singing, dancing and cheering for their beloved Disney idols.

The journey continues to the Scottish highlands where audiences will be captivated and star struck by Merida, as an exhilarating archery contest ensues for the right to marry the fiery redhead.
"Our challenge in developing Rockin' Ever After was figuring out how to highlight moments from these beloved stories in a way that reflects the type of entertainment that families value today," says Producer Juliette Feld. "By pulling elements from the talent show trend on contemporary television, we developed a truly unique way to lead into each fairytale."

Nippon Ichi has always been a company that I could predict, well until recently when they decided that the PS3 would be a good place for the next installment of the Disgaea series. I could see it now, high resolution sprites, huge battlefields, scores of characters being wiped off the face of the map in one gigantic spectacle. Suffice to say I was more than a little disappointed when what showed up on my doorstep was more akin to a PS2 to PS3 port than a game that really takes advantage of the cell processor. While there was definitely a visual letdown, the game is certainly not a slouch in the gameplay department. Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice deserves an A for effort when it comes to gameplay and story and it captures the feeling of the original Disgaea all over again, and it's a load of fun to boot.
Disgaea 3 is all about getting your patricide on, as the very angry and diabolical demon spawn Mao. Mao is currently the number one honor student at Evil Academy, he never goes to class, avoids teachers, and is generally a big jerk. After a fairly traumatic experience of having his Slaystation game console smashed by his father, the Overlord, Mao decided it was high time he gained the power of a hero in order to defeat him. In order to do that he would need to study heroes extensively, perhaps even capture one and experiment on him. And with that the adventure begins, involving everyone at Evil Academy, from the lowliest freshmen to the toughest senior.
NIS has always made sure that gameplay was the bread and butter of the Disgaea series, and the trend continues on in Disgaea 3. For those who are familiar with the series, there are a few new tweaks that help those who enjoy the game's "number porn" aspect. For the uninitiated, Disgaea is a strategy RPG that is all about amassing a large army of demons to defeat your enemies. So sadly, if you're new to the game a lot of these new changes may go unnoticed, but the core game is balanced enough that you won't miss much by skipping out on them. For starters there are new sub-skills, called Evilities, each character is allowed two "Evilities" that can range from additional HP received from healing spells, to extra attack damage. To learn these skills cost mana that is rewarded upon defeating enemies, and there is plenty to go around. You can also use that mana to reincarnate your characters, allowing them to start back at level one with a lot of their skills carried over.
Mana is also used to pass motions in the Student Council. Similar to the Dark Assembly of the original Disgaea, the Student Council is where you go when you want the ability to make new classes of characters. These classes include new human troops
and new demon troops. You can also change the stock of the shops, increase the power of enemies, or leave the battle to your collection of Prinnies. For those of us just joining us, Prinnies are the souls of murderers and thieves, confined to the body of a peg-legged little penguin, and they make quite a good bomb when thrown too. They also have a penchant for saying "Dood!" a lot too, and are often the source of comic relief.
Another new element is the Magichange ability that allows you to take a monster unit, and turn it in to a weapon, allowing for new skills. You can also combine skills between two units. So lets say you have a unit with sword skills, if you queue up an attack with a gun skill then you have a chance to combine the two attacks to do some extra damage. These types of tactics go a long way to those trying to break the billion damage barrier. Yes this game gets so ridiculous that you can do over a billion hit points in damage, but not without some serious time commitment.
There's plenty of ways to reach this ridiculous level, you can complete the main game, and then play through again with your beefed up characters in an attempt to reach the multiple endings. Or you can go and visit the Disgaea staple, the Item World. The Item World is used to power up items and to kill time, which it does a very good job of. Enemies are scaled to the power of the weapon, so don't think you can just dive right in if you find an awesome sword, odds are you won't last more than a few levels before you can reach the exit.
Previous Disgaea titles allowed you to mess with the battlefield through the use of the Geo system, various colored panels that can share powers like increase to strength or experience points gained. They can also harm by dealing damage or by creating clones of the enemies on the field. This system is now controlled by Geo Blocks, which can be picked up and thrown like previous Disgaea games, but this time you can climb them as well. But beware, because if you toss a Geo Block next to one of the same color then it will cause a chain reaction and destroy all the connected blocks of the same color. These Geo Blocks are what give the Geo Panels their power, so for example you throw a red Geo Block on to a blue panel, this will transfer the power of the block to all of the same colored panels. Destroying the block will change the color of all panels to that of the destroyed block. It sounds complicated trying to explain it here, but once you start playing it is easy to get the hang of.
Disgaea has always prized itself on its humorous writing and wacky characters, and this go round we're treated to one of the most manic casts yet. The are complemented with some excellent voice actors, with the lead character Mao being voice by Vic Mignogna who has also lent his talents to Persona 3 and Full Metal Alchemist. The vocal track comes in both English and Japanese flavors and I recommend the English cast this time around. The music is provided by Tenpei Sato who continues to provide a wide variety of tunes that help fit the mood but at times are a slight generic.
Graphically, Disgaea 3 is a massive disappointment for anyone who was expecting high definition visuals that take advantage of the PS3 console. This game really could have and should have been placed on the PS2, as the game could have benefited from the larger install base. There are a lot of effects that the game makes use of, and they look impressive, but the character sprites remain the chunky blocks of sprites from the previous games. Don't expect this to be a game to show off to friends to brag about your shiny new PS3.
NIS has got another hit on their hands with Disgaea 3. It's the solid gameplay that will keep you coming back for more. The graphics aren't necessarily a deal breaker, but in this landscape of high definition and extreme levels of brown, it's a little disappointing to see the graphics not get the proper boost that comes with a new generation of hardware. If you're a fan of Disgaea there is no reason to miss out on this game. The mechanics have received some more subtle tweaks and help make the game all the more enjoyable. It's got the charm and manic properties that put the original game on the map (and 2 other consoles) and even a little to spare, so don't miss Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice.

The song tells the story of a "strange, enchanted boy" who wandered to many places only to find that "the greatest thing of all….was to loved and be loved in return". The song has a haunting quality, even without the slightly eerie lyrics.
The song was also used in many films, one of them being Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman's "Moulin Rouge", pretty entertaining film even though it is kind of the typical sappy love story. Kidman garnered an academy nomination for her role as Satine.
Likewise the song was performed by many notable people, one of whom made the song a hit, this person is none other than Nat King Cole (is it finally dawning on you how much I love the man and his incredible voice yet? Seeing as to how he pops up so often in my posts should give you a hint, he will definitely be one of the artists I am covering so stay tuned!).

About the TEI
What is the TEI?
'TEI' is short for 'Text Encoding Initiative'. The TEI is an international organization founded in 1987 to develop guidelines for encoding machine-readable texts in the humanities and social sciences. 'TEI' is also used to refer to the TEI Guidelines themselves, and to the set of schemas they describe. The term is sometimes also used to refer to the TEI Consortium (TEI-C), which was established in 2001 to provide ongoing support for further development of the guidelines.
How is the TEI funded?
Since 2001, the TEI is organized as a member-funded consortium. Its funding comes primarily from membership fees, with additional support from its institutional hosts and from occasional grants. The TEI Guidelines are made available online free of charge, but the TEI also receives some income from selling printed copies of the Guidelines.
Who is involved in the TEI?
The TEI community is broad-ranging and international in scope. Many participants are located at academic institutions such as universities and research libraries. They may be involved in digital library programs, scholarly text encoding projects, computing support units, academic departments, independent research projects, and many other kinds of groups. Some participants are affiliated with standards bodies, funding agencies, governmental organizations, or companies, and some are simply interested in text encoding.
How can I support the TEI?
You can support the TEI in a number of ways. The TEI depends on financial support from membership and subscription dues, so by joining the TEI as an institutional member or an individual subscriber you will be making it possible for the TEI to continue developing and supporting the TEI Guidelines. You can also support the TEI by participating in its work: by contributing to a TEI special interest group, by using the Guidelines, by participating in discussions on the TEI-L discussion list, and by contributing stylesheets, tools, and sample texts to the TEI wiki.
About TEI membership
How can I join the TEI?
Please see our page "Join Us" for information about joining.
What is the difference between a member and a subscriber?
TEI members are institutions and organizations (such as libraries, universities, projects, and other large entities). TEI subscribers are individual people. Members pay a larger annual fee (ranging from US$500 to US$5000) and have the right to vote in TEI elections; subscribers pay a lower fee (usually US$50) and do not vote. Both members and subscribers attend the annual TEI conference free of charge and receive other benefits which are described in more detail.
How long does membership last?
TEI membership and subscribership are for the calendar year. If you join before the date of the annual conference and members' meeting (usually held in October or November), your membership applies to the current calendar year (and entitles you to attend the annual meeting free of charge). If you join after the annual meeting, your membership applies to the following calendar year. So for example, if you join in July 2009, you are a member or subscriber for the 2009 calendar year and may attend the 2009 annual meeting free of charge. If you join in November 2009 (after the annual meeting), you are a member for the 2010 calendar year and may attend the 2010 meeting.
How do I renew my TEI membership or subscription?
At the beginning of each year (typically in January), the TEI sends out renewal invoices to all members and subscribers. Simply return the invoice with your payment. If you do not receive an invoice, please contact the TEI at email@example.com.
I am located at a large and wealthy institution, but my project is small and underfunded. Can my project join at the div3 level?
Yes, the TEI membership fee is based on the level of TEI participation at the institution, not on the institution's overall size or resources.
How can I get grant funding for TEI membership?
Some granting agencies, particularly in the USA, allow applicants to include the cost of TEI membership in the budget proposal for a digital project that will use the TEI Guidelines. The TEI encourages projects to do this, and provides advice and assistance in drafting the portion of the proposal that describes the project's use of the TEI. For more information and to get help preparing the proposal, please contact the TEI at email@example.com.
Can the TEI help me encourage my institution to join the TEI?
Yes, the TEI actively seeks to recruit new institutional members and is very happy to work with individuals and projects to build support for TEI membership at their institutions. If you think your institution should join the TEI and would like more information on membership benefits, the application process, or any other aspect of membership, please contact the TEI at firstname.lastname@example.com.
My project joined the TEI at one membership level, but we would now like to increase (or decrease) our membership level. How can we do this?
This happens quite often: TEI projects may initially become members with funding from a grant but cannot sustain the membership level once the grant is finished. Similarly, an institution may join at a lower level when it first begins using the TEI, but may find after a time that its level of TEI participation has increased. In either case, to change your membership level, please contact the TEI at firstname.lastname@example.com and we can make the necessary adjustment. We encourage projects and institutions to increase their membership level when they have the resources to do so, and we understand that it may be necessary to reduce the membership level when funding is short. We would much rather have members continue at a lower level than discontinue their membership altogether.
Can I attend the annual conference and members' meeting even if my institution is not a member?
Yes, the TEI annual conference and members' meeting is open to all.
About the TEI Guidelines
When will the TEI Guidelines be finished?
The TEI Guidelines define an encoding language that is intended for use in encoding scholarly resources. Because our understanding of text encoding is evolving and progressing, and also because scholars' use of digital resources is constantly changing, the TEI Guidelines require ongoing revision to remain current and to serve their intended purpose. Specific versions of the Guidelines are published and remain stable (with changes only as needed to fix errors). The current version is P5, released in November 2007; it makes significant changes and improvements over the previous version, P4, which was released in 2000. Support for P4 continues, but it is no longer being developed.
How can I create a customized TEI schema?
The TEI is intended to be customized by its users. To simplify the customization process, the TEI supports a tool called Roma, which provides a web interface through which you can make and preserve your customization choices and generate customized schemas and documentation. The chapter of the Guidelines on Using the TEI describes the customization process in more detail. You may also find it helpful to consult the materials provided at this site on how to get the Guidelines and on customization.
What is TEI Lite?
TEI Lite is a specific customization of the TEI tagset, designed to meet "90% of the needs of 90% of the TEI user community". Due to its simplicity and the fact that it can be learned with relative ease, TEI Lite has been widely adopted, particularly by beginners and by big institutional projects that rely on large teams of encoders to markup their documents.
What is TEI Tite?
TEI Tite is a constrained customization of TEI designed for use when outsourcing production of TEI documents to vendors (who use some combination of OCR and keyboarding). While the canonical version is maintained by the Council, a derived version is used in the AccessTEI program.
What is AccessTEI?
AccessTEI is a partnership between the TEI Consortium and Apex CoVantage, LLC. TEI member institutions receive a special rate on scanning of print or microfilm items (if desired) and on encoding according to a derived version of TEI Tite.
TEI Lite doesn't have the tag I want: how do I add it?
(or 'TEI Lite has too many tags I don't want: how do I get rid of them?'). In either case, the answer is the same: to create a new TEI customization based on TEI Lite, you need to take the customization file that produced the TEI Lite DTD or schema, and modify that file, then generate a new DTD or schema. You should not modify the TEI Lite DTD or schema itself directly. The specification file for the P5 version of TEI Lite is available. Information on how to customize a TEI P5 schema with Roma is also available; see also Getting Started with P5 ODDs. The customization files for the P4 version of TEI Lite are also available and may be modified further using the Pizza Chef.
How can I find out whether the TEI includes tags for the concept I want to encode?
The TEI Guidelines include an alphabetical list of all elements defined in the Guidelines, available for P5 and for P4. You can also browse the full text. If you need further guidance, try sending a query to the TEI-L mailing list or contact a nearby TEI Project, or the send email to the TEI editors.
How can I propose a new topic to be covered by the Guidelines?
The chief mechanism for extending the TEI's coverage is by means of chartered TEI workgroups. Proposals from workgroups are made available for public discussion, and reviewed by the TEI Technical Council, before they become part of the standard.
For an overview of the currently chartered workgroups and links to the work in progress, visit the TEI Activities pages.
About using the TEI
What are some projects that use TEI tagging?
There are too many to list here, and we continually hear about more. A few high-profile examples include the British National Corpus, the Wittgenstein Archive, the Women Writers' Project, Perseus, many commercial systems and publications, and nearly every electronic text project funded by NEH. The TEI maintains a list of TEI projects; if you would like to add or update information about your project, please send email to email@example.com.
Is the TEI difficult to learn?
The TEI is a very extensive encoding language and is intended to support very complex encoding of very complex documents. However, it is not intrinsically difficult to learn. The basic concepts are straightforward and the encoding required for a simple document is no more difficult or complex than HTML. If your documents are simple and the encoding you want to do is basic, you can learn to use the TEI in the course of a short workshop (2-3 days), or you can teach yourself within a week or so. If you need to describe very complex structures, it will take longer to learn the necessary tags, and it may also take longer to decide how they should be used. In very complex text encoding projects, where the markup is used to express complex editorial constructs, encoders may be trained for a year or more before they feel fully competent, but this training includes not only the markup itself but also the editorial expertise necessary to apply it appropriately.
How can I learn to use the TEI?
For some people, the simplest way to learn the TEI is to read the TEI Guidelines. However, the Guidelines are not primarily intended as a training document, and many find it easier to work with a tutorial or to attend a workshop. Workshops are taught at intervals in various places and also through the Education SIG. The TEI also maintains a list of online tutorials and other training materials. However you choose to begin, the best way to learn is to do some actual encoding: choose a text that interests you, get an XML-aware text editor, and try your hand at encoding it. (For information on tools to support text encoding, see below.)
Where can I see samples of TEI encoding?
The TEI maintains a small set of sample texts that may be used for experimentation or as models to learn from. Sample texts are also being collected at TEI by Example at the Centrum voor Teksteditie en Bronnenstudie. Many projects will also share sample texts informally upon request.
What can I do with my TEI-encoded text?
TEI markup supports a wide range of useful functions including online publication, searching, text analysis, and conversion into other formats. There are many tools for manipulating, presenting and querying XML documents available. The TEI does not directly endorse any of these, however, there is a TEI Presentation Tools Special Interest Group where experiences with these tools are discussed.
What tools can I use to author my TEI documents?
Although you can use any text editor to edit TEI documents, there are more sophisticated tools available which allow you to validate your encoding against the TEI schema and perform other useful functions. The TEI does not directly endorse any of these. However, the TEI does have a TEI Authoring Tools Special Interest Group and maintains a list of software that is commonly used.
Where can I archive my TEI texts for posterity?
If you have created a valuable academic resource that conforms to the TEI Guidelines and you want to ensure that a copy will be available in the future, you may wish to investigate the possibility of depositing your texts with an electronic text archive, quite independently of any plans you have for distribution of it yourself. The Oxford Text Archive is one of the oldest such archives and is always on the look-out for scholarly digital resources.

Smell Disorders
Smell disorder facts*
*Smell disorder facts by John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
Every year, thousands of people develop problems with their sense of smell. In fact, more than 200,000 people visit a physician each year for help with smell disorders or related problems. If you experience a problem with your sense of smell, call your doctor. This fact sheet explains smell and smell disorders.
Many people who have smell disorders also notice problems with their sense of taste.
How does our sense of smell work?
The sense of smell is part of our chemical sensing system, or the chemosenses. Sensory cells in our nose, mouth, and throat have a role in helping us interpret smells, as well as taste flavors. Microscopic molecules released by the substances around us (foods, flowers, etc.) stimulate these sensory cells. Once the cells detect the molecules they send messages to our brains, where we identify the smell.
Olfactory, or smell nerve cells, are stimulated by the odors around us--the fragrance of a gardenia or the smell of bread baking. These nerve cells are found in a small patch of tissue high inside the nose, and they connect directly to the brain. Our sense of smell is also influenced by something called the common chemical sense. This sense involves nerve endings in our eyes, nose, mouth, and throat, especially those on moist surfaces. Beyond smell and taste, these nerve endings help us sense the feelings stimulated by different substances, such as the eye-watering potency of an onion or the refreshing cool of peppermint.
It's a surprise to many people to learn that flavors are recognized mainly through the sense of smell. Along with texture, temperature, and the sensations from the common chemical sense, the perception of flavor comes from a combination of odors and taste. Without the olfactory cells, familiar flavors like coffee or oranges would be harder to distinguish.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.

"I loved the design of the RSVP card and it matched our invitations, but we aren't personalizing a dinner for guests - we're just catering certain foods we choose. So we didn't need the entree selections. Instead, I asked that it ask for song requests and the three lines to be numbered and blank instead of listing food choices. I also asked for a # sign to be inside the "accepts" and "declines" areas so that no one thinks to write "yes" instead of the amount. It was perfect and the designer did a wonderful job changing it to fit my needs."
"Order in the Signature White (Pearl) paper and it is really nice looking. High-quality print and they were able to customize the wording as we wanted."
"We wanted something simple, classy, and fit us. This was definitely it! We required some edits to the wording and Wedding Paper Divas were more than accomodating."
"Ordered in white background and majestic font. Customer service was excellent. The designer worked with me and made changes for me so that it would be perfect. I was very satisfied. I recommend having addresses printed on the envelope, it saved a tremendous amount of time and well worth the small extra expense."
"I just loved this when I sent it out but loved it even more when I received the RSVPs back. So pretty and made me feel good getting them back. Many guests wrote how cute they were."

ADDISON, TX – AMPT Associates announce that FLYING Magazine's Parade of Planes event will open Thursday, March 26 in Addison, TX, with an exciting array of aircraft on display. Fourteen aircraft brands, ranging from light sport to light turbine, singles and twins, aerobatic aircraft, and even new construction of nostalgic aircraft will be on the ramp. Plus, a supporting team of Buyer's Resources will be on hand for all three days at Atlantic Aviation on the Addison Municipal Airport.
"Despite the current economic situation, aviation consumers are in the market for new aircraft, partially due to the new stimulus package," says Randy S. Bolinger of AMPT Associates. "Now more than ever, a consumer's ability to purchase a new aircraft in 2009 may hinge on an understanding of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, an ability to find partners to reduce the cost of ownership, discovering which aircraft is easier to insure based on individual qualifications or what creative financing options are available."
To facilitate those important conversations that solidify a purchase decision, FLYING's Parade of Planes enlisted the support of the nation's top tier tax, finance, insurance and partnership groups again for 2009.
For the second year, Advocate Tax, Aero Credit & AirFleet Capital, NationAir Insurance, Aircraft Partnership Association, and PlaneSmart! Aviation have joined forces at Parade of Planes to provide the creative solutions that can make aircraft ownership or shared access a reality.
"Regardless of the doom and gloom in the media, there are sources lending money for new aircraft and there are huge tax benefits for small business owners," says Bolinger. "Even purchasing a share of an aircraft through PlaneSmart! or using the Aircraft Partnership Association's free on-line database to search for partners in your local area can make the difference between flying a new aircraft or just dreaming about it for another year."
FLYING's Parade of Planes is open to the aviation public Thursday, March 26, through Saturday, March 28, 2009. The static display is available between the hours of 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. each day. Admission is free but guests may wish to make a tax deductable donation in any amount to the Cavanaugh Flight Museum to aid in their mission to preserve historic warbirds and civilian aircraft (most of which are still airworthy and fly regularly).
The following aircraft brands and resources are slated to be at FLYING's Parade of Planes - Addison (actual aircraft models to be determined by each exhibitor):
- Cessna (represented by Monarch Air)

Concert violinist Rachel Barton Pine presents a masterclass.
Rachel Barton Pine really may be the most charismatic, the most virtuosic, and the most compelling American violinist of her generation.All Music Guide
Celebrated as a great interpreter of classical works, Rachel Barton Pine's performances combine her innate gift for emotional communication and her scholarly fascination with historical research. She plays with passion and conviction across an extensive repertoire. Audiences are thrilled by her dazzling technique, lustrous tone, and infectious joy in music-making.
Pine has appeared as a soloist with many of North America's most prestigious ensembles, including the Chicago, Montreal, Atlanta, San Diego, Baltimore, St. Louis and Dallas Symphonies; Buffalo and Rochester Philharmonics, and the Philadelphia and Louisville Orchestras. Overseas, she has performed with the Vienna, New Zealand, Iceland and Budapest Symphonies; the Royal Scottish and Belgian National Orchestras; the Mozarteum, Scottish and Israel Chamber Orchestras; the Royal, Calgary and Russian Philharmonics, and the Netherlands Radio Kamer Filharmonie.
Pine is an avid performer of baroque, renaissance and medieval music on baroque violin, viola d'amore, renaissance violin, and rebec. She regularly performs and records with John Mark Rozendaal and David Schrader as the period instrument ensemble Trio Settecento. A fan of rock and heavy metal since her pre-teens, Pine's ability to see the connecting threads between classical and rock music makes her the perfect bridge between generations of music fans. Hailed as an artistic ambassador, she often visits rock radio stations and rock clubs to perform her own arrangements of rock and metal songs followed by classical pieces to illustrate how the two genres share a similar intensity and compositional complexity, and to help draw new listeners to classical music. She has created an innovative orchestral initiative aimed at drawing new audience members titled "Shredding with the Symphony" which features pieces by Van Halen, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Metallica as well as Bruch, Berlioz and Shostakovich.
A Chicago native, Pine began violin studies at age three and made her professional debut four years later at age seven with the Chicago String Ensemble. Her principal teachers were Roland and Almita Vamos and she has also studied with Ruben Gonzalez, Werner Scholz, Elmira Darvarova and several early music specialists. Pine resides in Chicago with her husband and daughter. She performs on the Joseph Guarnerius del Gesu (Cremona 1742), known as the "ex-Soldat," on generous loan from her patron.

cvsroot is a script to help keep track of multiple sites when using CVS, and in particular the CVSROOT and CVS_RSH environment variables for those sites. It creates a $HOME/.cvsroot file, with shortcut names representing the different CVS sites. The new environment variables appropriate to the site selected will then be set, and a new shell will be spawned to keep the variables. In this way, you do not have to keep setting the environment yourself, and can rely on the script to keep track of things for you.

I bought three of these stools for my kitchen counter and they look fabulous! I absolutely LOVE them. They are sturdy, bright white (as opposed to some others that are a bit ivory-toned), chrome is shiny, and really quite comfortable. The packages arrived safely and very quickly too! They were fairly easy to put together however, please note: the instructions were just "diagrams" of the parts. No where in the diagrams did it say to REMOVE THE BLACK CAP FROM THE HYDRAULIC LIFT PIECE. It was hilarious, seeing me put these together and my frustrations of not knowing why the hydraulc lifts weren't working.....so basically, learn from my mistake.....don't forget to REMOVE the black cap piece and you will love these!!
I bought four of these stools in brown. The color was true to the color shown on the site. Assembly was easy. The stool base is sturdy and well constructed. Hydraulic adjustment works great. The seat is surprisingly comfortable. The best part is they wipe clean and do not have any seams or crevices that will hold crumbs. Very important since they are in my kitchen.
Awesome choice! This bar stool is super cute and very easy to put together. The finish is glossy all round. Easy to clean. These stools are a perfect addition to our new, modern kitchen. They are the perfect height for our island ,also the fact that the heigh is adjustable (THAT IS A PLUS+++++)The stool is not that great for heavy people.
I was a little concerned about buying this without seeing any reviews on Overstock. I decided to buy one - see if I like it and if so buy some more. Well, the good news is for the price you can't beat it. The overall appearance (especially from a distance or with some good lighting) is great. Up close the leather looks kinda cheap and is a bit hard but I think it will hold up. Mine didn't come with any directions, you just need to screw in four bolts that require an allen wrench - and the allen wrench isn't included. Its actually allot more comfortable then it looks in the photo, in fact its better looking then it is in the photo. I happen to be sitting on it right now and I just ordered several more. For the price it really cannot be beat - I don't think you'll get a better stool for less then twice the price.
I was looking for a chair for my bathroom vanity and thinking of a more conventional choice when I saw these barstools. I read some reviews,which were excellent, and decided that this could be my solution. It's adjustable, has good back support and a sleek profile that fits neatly under the vanity. It also has a substantial rubber ring on the bottom of the base to protect my marble floor. It's truly a great value and beautifully finished and I thank those who took the time to write reviews because it certainly helped me make my decision and I couldn't be happier.
Love, love, love these chairs.....a lovely addition to my kitchen!
Needed chairs for the island in the kitchen. If someone is sitting at the kitchen island and wanted to talk to someone sitting at the dinning room table I knew I would need a swivel chair. Otherwise my new floors would get messed up if they kept turning and sliding ordinary chairs. These chairs are comfortable, adjust to the height of the person, durable, and easy to keep clean.
This product is holding up well. It is very cute and just what I looking for to compliment my cream furniture. The only drawback is beware of anything red such as spaghetti sauce..etc. It is hard to get out of the chair. Other than that, I'm glad I purchased it as we use the chairs day in and day out and they seem to be holding up pretty good. It is relatively easy to clean other than red sauces:).
My husband loves to spend time in his workshop, but he dealt with an uncomfortable stool for too long. I looked at many online, and finally decided on this one. He LOVES it. Very, very comfortable and durable. He'll be happy with it for years!
Very happy with the quality of the leather and ease of putting it together.

The stage was set by the 2010 midterm elections, as several states enacted draconian anti-immigrant measures. The worst was Arizona's, which tasked police with ascertaining the legal status of people they stop for any reason, and required that they detain anyone with the "reasonable suspicion" of being in the country illegally. It also empowered citizens to sue police if they failed to comply.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
The Arizona law will come under scrutiny at the federal level later this month, both in the Supreme Court and in Congress. On April 25, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether Arizona has pre-empted the federal government's longstanding powers to enforce immigration policy. The U.S. Department of Justice has brought the suit. The day before the court hearing, a Senate subcommittee headed by Democrat Charles Schumer will do some political grandstanding on the issue in a hearing of its own.
Schumer sent a letter to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer asking her to testify. Specifically, he asked her to comment on whether the law is still necessary, given $600 million in enhancements to border security that he helped pass. Brewer declined.
Schumer's kidding, right? Of course Brewer's not going to back down on her state's law. To do so would give up her law-and-order credentials. Few issues stoke the GOP base as much as tough talk about illegal immigration. The party is counting on the issue to keep people fired up and ready to donate this year.
A point that the Justice Department will make before the Supreme Court is that the Arizona law does nothing to solve the very real problems the state and many others have with illegal immigration.
Arizona can't deport people. That's the role of the federal government. Nor can it decide who is granted legal status, or take that status away. It doesn't control who is given a visa, work authorization or asylum. And it certainly can't do much to address the problem at the heart of the immigration issue: our country's need for low-wage labor, and the lack a legal framework for bringing in guest workers.
Arizona, a state heavily dependent on tourism, restaurants and hotels, needs such workers. It can't get enough of them legally, any more than states like Georgia can, with its reliance on immigrant labor for agriculture. Nothing state legislators conjure and pass into law can change that fact.
From a practical, real world understanding of how immigration enforcement works, the Arizona law is a trainwreck. The American Bar Association, the United States Conference of Mayors, the National League of Cities and more than 40 attorneys general have filed amicus briefs supporting the government's arguments against the Arizona law. (A separate lawsuit, filed by a coalition of nonprofits, argues that the design of the Arizona law will certainly lead to routine civil rights violations.)
From a political point of view, however, it's excellent grist for the mill of conservative demagoguery. Republicans in several other states, including Utah, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia have passed or are contemplating similar measures. They will be closely watching the case.
If the U.S. Supreme Court fails to strike down the Arizona law, it will give state after state carte blanche to pass its own version of this wrongheaded law. The country will wind up with a mishmash of varying policies, mostly based on the fantasy that 12 million people, some with longstanding ties and children born in the U.S., are going to pack up and leave.
Brewer argues that it was failure at the federal level that created the illegal immigration problem. And she's right.
However, only federal action can fix this problem. And on this point, the U.S. Supreme Court must unequivocally set the states straight.
Then Congress has to get to work. No excuses.
